Turkey to Stones: Day 29

Monday, May 06, 2013

Last Christmas our local store had free turkeys if you had earned so many of their store points. I did, I got a 16 pound turkey for free...how cool is that.

However, it turned out I was invited out for dinner and didn't use the turkey and so it's been living very nicely in my freezer since the middle of December. Hard to buy and freeze with this bird just sitting there.

With mother's day next week a group of us decided we'd hold our own "Mother's Day/Spring/We're fantastic women" party and cook the bird.

Sitting on the deck, pre-bird dinner, one left the area not feeling well (no it's not food poisoning, we haven't even eaten yet folks!)...lots of pain attacked her. So a couple of folks ate while arrangements for urgent care were made.

Kidney Stones. Wow! after watching how much pain she was in, and hearing very clearly through her screams how much pain she was in, the doctor finally could confirm that diagnosis after 2 morphine shots.

So the bird turned to stone...almost seems like she was reliving her childbirth experience. :0
